| Haiku contest winners First Place
We have our winners in last week’s haiku contest! I used random.org to select the first place winner, Cullen. Here’s his haiku poem:
The grasses are green
dew is sparkling here and there
earth’s morning beauties.
Second Place
Second place goes to Andrew K., age 9, who wrote my personal favorite and won a World of Animals StoryBuilders card deck. Here’s his haiku about a yellow jacket:
buzz-black, yellow bug
in garden flying, eating
stinging all the worms
It was a tough choice because there were some very clever and well-written entries. But in the end, Andrew’s won out because he:
Followed the format.
Avoided “to be” words.
Made every word count.
Picked a nature theme.
Thanks to everyone who participated. Keep up with your haiku! Taylor Lautner- Apologize

So I was out shooting my RB67 one day...
The following is a paraphrasing of a conversation I had with another photographer regarding the Mamiya RB67 that I was shooting with hand held at the starting line of the 2010 John Beargrease sled dog marathon.
Him: Are you a professional?
Me: No. Just an amateur shooting for himself.
Some small talk goes by.
Him: So how many is it? 15? 18?
Me: 20. (assuming he was asking how many exposures. I had a 220 back on the camera at the time.)
Him: Eyes get bigger
Me: Wait. Were you asking about exposures, or cost?
Him: Cost.
Me: Oh! Only about $300.
Him: More large eyes
A moment of silence goes by.
Him: Is that a film camera?
The other photographer apparently assumed I was walking around in ten degree weather with a $20,000 digital medium format camera. If only I was as wealthy as Tyra Banks. If only.

AND THEN, that same CEO contracted another firm when his identity was stolen?
Well now, in one of the largest FTC-state coordinated settlements on record, LifeLock and its principals will be barred from making, (sic) ANY MORE, deceptive claims and required to take more stringent measures to safeguard the personal information they collect from customers.
According to the FTC:
The FTC will use the $11 million it receives from the settlements to provide refunds to consumers. It will be sending letters to the current and former customers of LifeLock who may be eligible for refunds under the settlement, along with instructions for applying. Customers do not have to contact the FTC to be eligible for refunds.

Problem: Comets
The software company you’re working for is developing a game named Comets that is essentially a clone of an old popular arcade game. The player controls a spaceship that floats around in two-dimensional space propelled by its engines and carried by its inertia. Comets are also floating around in the same space. Anything that goes off one side of the screen re-emerges on the opposite side. The player’s goal is to destroy all of the comets without colliding with any of them. The situation is complicated somewhat by the fact that shooting larger comets causes them to break into several smaller comets, thus making them more difficult to avoid.
A basic game interface is already written, so you don’t need to worry about drawing anything on the screen or respo Grow Plants Without Irrigation An exciting announcement was made this week about the ability to grow plants without the need for irrigation.
